A Handsome Man

Wow...it's almost been a year since my last post.  But...our kids really set the pace for this.  Sometimes there are months where nothing is said or done that is really 'blog-worthy' and then there are days like yesterday, where they  pump out the 'funnies'.

So...yesterday, we had a snag in our plans.  My keys got locked in the van and we had to use my parents' vehicle to go and pick up my husband's keys so we could get in our van. We had to drive about 10 minutes and it worked out that Shawn's boss had to head our way anyway...so we arranged to meet him at his house, where he would bring us Shawn's keys.  As soon as we had finished getting the keys from Brad, we drove off and Braden says, "Wow...he's even more handsome than I thought!"  I could not stop laughing!  I said, "Yes honey, he is a handsome man!"

Still chuckling to myself, Braden starts again, "And mom...you know how sometimes when we say things, you tell all your friends??  Well...when you do that, it makes me embarrassed."  So I tried to explain, "I know Braden, it's just that sometimes you guys say such cute things and I just have to share it with somebody."  To which he responded, "Well...can't you just share it ONLINE??!!"

A few more funny videos of our kids...

These videos are all from 2009, so Olivia is 5 and Braden is 4. I decided it would be cute to put a few of our 'keepers' on here, even though that are a couple years old now. They are great memories and always make us smilie!

Olivia's first attempt at creating a song!

Braden's first attempt at creating a song (cause he has to keep up with his sister)!

And the song that Mommy & Daddy used to tell the kids that we were expecting another baby! It came in a recordable card that we gave to the kids and they listened to it so much that they memorized it!

Fall 2011

Cold, not Smart!

Last night, when Braden was finished his bath, I brought him his towel. As usual, he stayed all huddled on the floor under his towel for a few minutes. While I was cleaning up the bathroom, he says, "Mom, I'm cold. Can you carry me to my room?" I said, "No Braden, I can't right now. I'm busy."
"But Mom, I don't know how" he said.
"I'm sure you'll figure it out," I responded.
Then came his witty response.
"I said I was cold, not smart!"

Halloween 2011

Olivia came home from school on Halloween and said, "Mom, people at school keep asking me why I am a Christian." "Mom, why are we christians?" So...that led to a pretty cool discussion about becoming a christian and so on.

So...that night, we took the kids out trick or treating in our neighbourhood. Olivia was a nurse, Braden - batman, and Julia - a very cute little ladybug!

Anyway....after we got back home and they had taken stock of the 'plunder', Olivia was getting ready for bed when she came and gave me a big hug and said, "Thanks for taking us out for Halloween, even though we're Christians."

A Midnight Moonie

Today I heard a new one.
Braden & I were up early this morning having breakfast together, as we usually do. He's always the first one up and I'm the sucker that gets to 'arise' with him. (I secretly love it though.)
Anyway...while my mom was getting ready, she asked Braden if he had eaten breakfast already? He said, "Yeah...I had a Midnight Moonie!" Guaranteed, my mom had no idea what that was. So she asked and he answered with, "You know...it's when a mom and her son have breakfast together."
Thanks Braden...that made my day!
Here's to many more Midnight Moonies!!
